It's a little last minute, but:
Our Ordinary Life is doing a giveaway for a gift card to ColdStone Creamery! Get your entries in by tonight and you could get a $20 gift card from them!
Head on over to their post to check it out! Since the warm weather hit so early - even if it HAS taken a turn to the cold side again - ice cream's been sounding awfully good lately. I've never actually been to a Cold Stone Creamery before, but I've heard good things.
What's everyone else think?

Weather
The weather here keeps getting stranger and stranger! Just last week, it was in the eighties ... now we're stuck in the forties. I didn't realize how cold it would get and left my window open last night - brr! You can imagine how chilly the bathroom was, too, with THAT window open. Blech. I can't say I quite approve of this weather swing, even if it is fairly typical for Chicago.
We get weather swings, but this seems intense even for us. The winter was so mild that I'm almost grateful for a little more cold, though I doubt it can be great for all the plants that have started coming up early. (There are a lot of those...) It seems like weather's become one of the #1 topics of conversation around these parts - usually, that's just plain banal, but with how odd it's been it actually seems valid to stand around talking about the weather. Not just pleasantries like usual, eh?
Springtime still means more outdoor time, and even if it's cold I won't let it keep me in! Regular sunshine and long walks go a long way to cheer me up. A day without at least a few quick walks is a day wasted, I think. I may not exercise quite as much as I should, but getting moving does help my mood and energy levels a lot.
At least it isn't raining!

I should post more - it's been an interesting winter! Most of it's been taken up by work, but what's really been interesting is the weather.
Ridiculous! It's 60 degrees out in March. And there were a lot of warm days over the winter, too. I wonder what will happen with pests and weeds this year - with less time frozen, I bet more bugs will have survived. I'm concerned how the weather this spring and summer will be, too ...
I can only imagine there'll be lots of terrible weather. With hot and cold all topsy turvy, it'll be windy and I imagine we'll have lots of storms. What all else that means, though, I couldn't say.
